An Act to amend the law relating to the transfer of property by act of ...

(b) A transfers Rs. 5000 to B on condition that he shall marry with the consent of C, D and E.
B marries without the consent of C, D and E, but obtains their consent after the marriage. B has
not fulfilled the condition.
27. Conditional transfer to one person coupled with transfer to another on failure of prior
disposition
Where, on a transfer of property, an interest therein is created in favour of one person, and by the
same transaction an ulterior disposition of the same interest is made in favour of another, if the
prior disposition under the transfer shall fail, the ulterior disposition shall take effect upon the
failure of the prior disposition, although the failure may not have occurred in the manner
contemplated by the transferor.
But, where the intention of the parties to the transaction is that the ulterior disposition shall take
effect only in the event of the prior disposition failing in a particular manner, the ulterior
disposition shall not take effect unless the prior disposition fails in that manner.
Illustrations
(a) A transfers Rs. 500 to B on condition that he shall execute a certain lease within three
months after A's death, and, if he should neglect to do so, to C. B dies in A's life-time. The
disposition in favour of C takes effect.
(b) A transfers property to his wife; but, in case she should die in his life-time, transfer to B
that which he had transferred to her. A and his wife perish together, under circumstances which
make it impossible to prove that she died before him. The disposition in favour of B does not
take effect.
28. Ulterior transfer conditional on happening or not happening of specified event
On a transfer of property an interest therein may be created to accrue to any person with the
condition superadded that in case a specified uncertain event shall happen such interest shall pass
to another person, or that in case a specified uncertain event shall not happen such interest shall
pass to another person. In each case the dispositions are subject to the rules contained in sections
10, 12, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 and 27.
29. Fulfilment of condition subsequent
An ulterior disposition of the kind contemplated by the last preceding section cannot take effect
unless the condition is strictly fulfilled.
